Light emission structure

Abstract

A light emission structure includes a circuit board and at least one light-emitting diode. The circuit board defines at least one opening, which receives the light-emitting diode therein in such a way that the light-emitting diode has a plurality of terminals extending over and supported by the circuit board and a gap is formed between the light-emitting diode and the opening. As such, heat dissipation of the light-emitting diode is enhanced and overall thickness is reduced.

1 . A light emission structure, comprising:
 a circuit board, which defines at least one opening; and   at least one light-emitting diode, which is received in the opening defined in the circuit board, the light-emitting diode having a plurality of terminals extending over and supported by the circuit board, a gap being formed between the light-emitting diode and the opening.   
   
   
       2 . The light emission structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the circuit board comprises one of a printed circuit board, an aluminum substrate, and a ceramic substrate. 
   
   
       3 . The light emission structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the circuit board comprises a flexible printed circuit board. 
   
   
       4 . The light emission structure as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each of the terminals of the at least one light-emitting diode forms an electrical connection with the circuit board by being soldered thereto by one of solder, tin, sliver, and copper alloy.
